Viburnums...A Sweet Scent


This past weekend, I was captivated by the sweet scent from our front porch. It's that time of year again. Spring is in the air.

I cut a few branches from two of our Viburnum shrubs. DH will have to provide the common and latin names later. I was placing them in one of my old paint jars (from my watercolor days), when I had a photog moment. I grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots. These were taken in natural light from a window.

Focal length: 60 mm



Focal length: 130 mm



I love it when I can capture a moment without flash. I found that light from a window is a wonderful source for taking those natural pictures. Give it a try. :)
